Leeds United host Liverpool on Saturday evening, aiming to secure back-to-back Premier League victories.
Daniel Farke’s side finally ended a poor run of form with a stunning 3-1 win over Chelsea in midweek. Now, they face another giant of English football under the lights at Elland Road.
The hosts will be full of confidence after their midweek performance. However, they face a Liverpool team that has historically dominated them. Leeds have conceded 12 goals in their last two meetings with the Reds. Therefore, a disciplined defensive performance will be essential if they are to replicate their success against Chelsea.
Leeds United team news
Daniel Farke is expected to keep faith with the core of the team that beat Chelsea. Goalkeeper Lucas Perri has cemented his spot and will start again. The manager has defensive stability with Joe Rodon and Pascal Struijk likely to feature. In midfield, Jaka Bijol and Ao Tanaka provided goals from the engine room midweek. Consequently, they should retain their places.
However, injuries continue to limit options. Daniel James and Sean Longstaff are both unavailable. Up front, Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been in scoring form. However, Joel Piroe and Noah Okafor are also pushing for starts in the attacking positions. The manager may opt for Piroe to offer a different dynamic against Liverpool’s high line.
Leeds United predicted Lineup
Leeds United predicted XI: Perri; Rodon, Bijol, Struijk; Bogle, Stach, Gruev, Ampadu, Gudmundsson; Piroe, Okafor
